2013 Toyota RAV4 official images leaked

2013 Toyota RAV4 official leaked photo

Premiering tomorrow

A batch of official 2013 Toyota RAV4 images has surfaced the Internet.

It was only yesterday when we got to see several photos of the new RAV4, and now we bring some official leaked images. Set to rival cars such as the Ford Escape/Kuga, Honda CR-V and the Subaru Forester, the 2013 RAV4 looks more refined than the model it replaces and comes with a revamped interior cabin.

Engines list could include a 4-cylinder, 2.5-liter with 178 hp (133 kW) and a larger V6 3.5-liter producing 268 hp (200 kW). These power units will be linked to a new 6-speed automatic gearbox sending the power to the optionally available AWD system.

Full details will be revealed tomorrow when the car gets its debut at the 2012 Los Angeles Auto Show.

it looks like they finally got it right with the designing. the new 2013 avalon is fire, this rav4 is hot as well. classy, looks like a lexus almost and the back looks like a MDX. the interior looks so much better than the last 3 gen rav4's, a little dissapointed about the 3rd row being discontiued, but no big deal. this new design is definenlty a step up for toyota. im looking forward to see what future redeigned/new models are going to look like.

Personally I don't really like the styling direction Toyota have taken with their most recent models... Very bland, IMO the Korean manufacturers (Kia, Hyundai) have really taken the lead on their Japanese neighbors on the styling front.

We have a Rav4, but this front bumper skirt doesn't do anything for me, its got to go thru some rigorous aesthetics improvement. No 3rd row seats means I am not shopping for this fella, might have to wait for Nissan to come up with the Hi-Cross 4 cylinder competitor w/3rd row.
Officially Toyota Rav4 and Ford Escape got the ugliest gaping front design!
